  Today, I received a phone call supposedly from Microsoft saying you receive many messages from my computer problem and they gave me the address of the site above to verify the call.   They said that my computer has a virus, and they wanted to remove the virus.  I'm really uncomfortable about this supposed Microsoft contact.   They are part of Microsoft, it is a legal company of Microsoft, it is a society of Ammyy

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• I guess it's a some fake phishing e-mail and not microsoft?

  Windows user,.

  It has come to our attention that your Microsoft installation documents windows are obsolete. Each installation of Windows must be linked to a daily update e-mail account.

  This requires you to check the e-mail account. Failure to check your records will result in account suspension. Click on the button check below and enter your details on the next page to confirm your records.

  Hello Sally gardener.

  I agree with your premise. Why do you ask? Updates depend on having you an activated copy of Windows. He is unresponsive to your e-mail address. Once Windows is activated updates will be downloaded as usual.

  Microsoft have no 'daily updates' updates are downloaded specific all Tuesdays of each month.

  The only time that your email address is used is when you "register" your copy of Windows. Registration is not required, Microsoft does not the e-mail address of each unique user of its software. I have, on the one hand, never recorded all copies of the software from Microsoft with Microsoft.

  Treat is as a scam by email and do not respond.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• I need to upgrade from microsoft?

  I got an email today supposedly from Microsoft telling me I had to click on the link to upgrade, I am normally very good spotting spam paypal etc and report them always, but they could not help with this one as paypal is not mentioned, I put in a search and found something similar that was spam then someone can you please advise me how to tell if something like this is authentic? Thanks x

  Hello PooshKat,

  First of all the email you received refers to Microsoft. Microsoft is a company not a product. The email informs you to upgrade from Microsoft, and not a particular product, e.g., Windows, Windows Live, Outlook etc. Alarm bells start ringing right on the first sentence.

  While Satya Nadell is the CEO of Microsoft, he won't go around sending e-mails to customers. Overall I've been an MVP for 13 years and I never got an email from Satya Nadell, Steve Bullimer or Bill Gates.

  Finally, the link in the email points to Micropix.net/includes/conf.html. While Microspix is it has nothing to do with Microsoft and the link leads to a site called "artekteknikhirdavat", which displays a fake Outlook page that requires you to sign. When signing into spammers have access to your outlook e-mail account.

  On no account, click on the link. Just delete the email.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Why does'n Microsoft answer frankly in the exact steps how to save e-mail from Microsoft?

  Why does'n Microsoft answer frankly and in specific steps how to save e-mail from Microsoft? (Outlook Express, Windows Live)

  I stopped using Outlook express because it was impossible to save it on my hard drive since 1996 (what I could save was not readable...). Now, I have the same problem with: http://sn105w.snt105.mail.live.com/mail/InboxLight.aspx

  You're talking about "Windows Live Mail" and "Windows Live Mail 2011" but there is nothing on the web explaining the differences between e-mail programs or Microsoft services.»

  I went to the e-mail service, which is accessible via Windows Live in the hope that it will allow me to back - it up, nothing helped. Often, the instructions Microsoft give are impossible to follow mainly because 'links' to which the statement makes reference to do not even exist.

  If is is not possible to email Microsoft backup, please tell people. Otherwise tell me please exactly how can I save my e-mail messages (how to make a full copy of everything including attachments).

  I use "Windows XP SP3" and Windows "Live Messenger" as a point of entry to my email address.  There is no link to "Sync" on the pages!

  It is very easy and well documented on how to backup OE files and settings.

  www.oehelp.com/Backup.aspx

  www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/

  If you have problems with Windows Live, you need to ask here: www.windowslivehelp.com like many here, do not use this program.

  Hi kate louisecox,.

  I understand your frustration.  In the search for your question, you got to see this article?  It examines a compromised account:

  Also, if this does not help your situation, I would say that post future questions about this issue in the Windows Live Solution Center Forums as they would be able to help you:
